• "Another happy visit to Sea View ."

  The apartment was spotlessly clean, warm, comfortable and cosy ( and the welcoming cakes delicious!) When we arrived the small lights had been left on ,giving the apartment a lovely warm glow . Fiona, the owner , lives nearby, and is always on hand to answer any queries. Hours may be spent simply watching the colours and patterns of the water flowing in the estuary......and all from the comfort of the large armchairs , placed in the picture window. We hope to return in 2024 .

  Hello Ruth, Many thanks for your kind comments. We do make special effort to make our visitors feel welcome when they arrive, it’s a good start to a holiday! Look forward to seeing you all in 2024 Property Owner

• "Sea view is comfortable, well equipped in a beautiful position overlooking the sea."

  The owners are welcoming and friendly. The Bistro next door is well worth a visit but best to book as it is busy all day. We visited the surrounding areas by car but could have left the car and walked or got the bus. We sat happily watching the view from the sofa. Relaxing place to spend a holiday.

  It was nice to meet you both. I am very glad you enjoyed your stay in Sea View Apartment, and the fabulous view over the bay. So glad you enjoyed the food in our Bistro next door. Hopefully we will see you both again. Kind regards, Fiona. Property Owner

• "Fabulous position for touring N Wales, such a comfortable well equipped apartment, and it is a pleasure seeing Fiona, Katie and Henry who are the owners and always available."

  We love to go to escape the stresses of normal life. The little harbour to town of Porth Madog is a 20 min. walk away. There is a golf course and Black Rock sands a short drive away. If you don't want to cook try Henry's delicious food which is cooked in the bistro right below you. Wendy and Peter May 23.

  Thank you Wendy and Peter. It is always a pleasure to have your company! Glad you appreciated the home cooked food too. We look forward to seeing you next year if not before. Enjoy the rest of your summer. All the best, Fiona, Henry and Katie. Property Owner

  The view was one that you just couldn't take your eyes off - great for watching the ever changing sea and landscape. Seaview was well equipped, warm and cosy. The owners were friendly and helpful and made us feel welcome. What more could you ask for? We were sad to leave so we will definitely return.

• "What a wonderful apartment !"

  So peaceful. There was so much to watch from the comfortable chairs, placed in the large window, overlooking the ever changing estuary up to the hills beyond . Sea View was warm and cosy , despite the very low temperatures and biting wind outside . It was light and comfortable, especially the super kingsize bed . The owners were friendly and thoughtful ( and someone made delicious cakes!) Ses View is certainly a place to revisit .

  Thank you Ruth. It was great to have you all to stay, so glad you enjoyed the view and cakes from our coffee shop! Hope to see you all again soon. Property Owner

• "A lovely comfortable apartment with a beautiful sea view."

  The owner had thoughtfully provided 2 tower fans as the temperature hit record figures. Another nice touch was the sweet treats on arrival. Fiona and her daughter were very friendly and a problem with an appliance was sorted very speedily. The location is perfect to visit other areas but the beaches by Borthy Gest take some beating. Would highly recommend.

  So glad you enjoyed your stay, thanks for your kind comments. Property Owner

  Our host was so helpful throughout, I particularly appreciated the help given on arrival with my luggage. The apartment is so comfortable with everything you need provided. I already knew Borth-y-Gest, having stayed in the property next door but one regularly, in the late 60s and early 70s.I was still stunned by the view from the apartment. I had problems with the hob, Fiona looked at it immediately. I look forward to staying at the apartment again.

• "We would have liked a freezer compartment in the fridge."

  We needed a step to be able to reach into the kitchen cupboards properly. The yard outside needs to be tidied up as the view from the master bedroom was an eyesore. The TV did not have all the Freeview Channels eg Sky Arts & Drama so we were a bit disappointed. These are niggles & did not take away from the overall satisfaction with the letting.

  Thank you Josie for your comments which we take very seriously and always try and address. A new fridge with ice-box is being installed in the next few days. We have been waiting for the removal of items to be taken but due to Covid this is overdue. We do not subscribe to Sky due to the cost which we would have to pass onto customers. We find most of our customers bring their own laptops etc. and use Netflix or similar. We are always happy to help our clients with any problems on the spot if they just come and have a chat with us during their stay. I am glad these niggles did not impact on your overall stay.

• "Fantastic communication from the owner."

  All my texted questions were answered straight away. Good flexibility in arrival time. The flat was clean, very well equipped and everything was clearly labelled. The little things were provided too, such as kitchen roll, waste bags, hot water bottles, torch, hairdryer and a whole range of cooking utensils. The view from the lounge window, overlooking the bay, was stupendous. We enjoyed watching the wading birds from there, and we could even see Portmeirion's lighthouse. The bed was very comfortable and the added bedspread was welcomed in the cold. During Storm Franklin, we did find the bedroom window draughty, so we kept the blinds and curtains closed. There was a heater available, but we didn't need it. The flat is above the bistro takeaway, which creates some noise, but this is largely during the day, so is not too intrusive: it generally closes no later than 7:30pm. The takeaway was serving some delicious ice cream - especially the rhubarb & custard flavour. We had a fabulous stay, the owners were really friendly and couldn't do enough for us. We felt this accommodation was was just perfect; - a great way to celebrate my 'significant' birthday. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks for a wonderful holiday.

  Thank you Juliette, I am delighted you enjoyed your stay with us for the special event, and hope to see you both again. Property Owner

• "The view from the lounge window was to die for!"

  It was a continually changing picture across the bay, due to the tides and weather. We thought we had seen most places in north Wales but Borth-y Gest turned out to be a little gem with quiet hidden beaches right on your door step. We took advantage of the take away food service down stairs several times, which was delivered to your door and was delicious.

  Bedrooms and lounge are a nice size, kitchen a little small but adequate. The owners were very welcoming, friendly and helpful and we had the added bonus of picking up morning coffee and ice-creams from the bistro takeaway downstairs. Also enjoyed a takeaway lunch and dinner from the bistro. Would definitely recommend and would go back to stay again.

  Handily placed for walking into Porthmadog and along the coastal path. Wonderful view over the bay from lounge bay window. Borth-y-Gest is a really relaxing place benefitting from free on street parking and a local bus service. It is convenient for touring this part of Wales and experiencing the narrow gauge railways and stunning coastal scenery. We did a lot of walking but also visited Barmouth, Caernavon, Aberdaron, Beddgelert and Criccieth all of which had their individual attractions
